IMO In the comparison of the versions of the TTC after the Han Dynasty was just merely a codex of MWD-B. I don't see anything was really authentic among them.

You just need to eat healthy foods like veges, non-fats like chicken and fish. Eat a mixture of nuts like almond, walnut, Brazil nut, cashew and hazelnut for snacks. Eat some peanuts but not too much. Practice Chi Kung daily or constantly is a must.

You want no age limit for Chi, then, you need practice Chi Kung like everybody else. The "Chi" you are talking about is the body energy which is to be constantly generated in your body. However, you must provide fuels for the body to generated it. For more details, pleas PM me. Thanks.

Plant some seeds in the soil and water it daily. You can also buy some plants in the pot and put them in the ground soil yourself.

No, if you masturbate and release of semen, then, your sperms will be released also. Otherwise, how would you get a woman pregnant? FYI After you release the sperms, your body will reproduce them in three days.

The MWD-A version was written in the Seal style with the character 徹(Che4) included. Therefore, it couldn't have been written after his reign. Besides, any other version after the Han Dynasty would have had been written in the Official style.

Most people weren't aware of the changes but they are still have the option to go back to the original characters.

What you talking about is all the aftermath of manifestation of Tao from Lao Zi's TTC. So, was Zhuang Zi.

What are the eight digits after 211680 and what is "My MCL password".....???

FYI The ban is only applies to the entire Han Dynasty. One dynasty had no jurisdiction over the next. Actually, Heshang Gong did not really rewrite the TTC. He only interpreted it differently for his own interest. He was emphasized in the importance of the cultivation for a good physical Body before ruling a country. Most his commentary was about the cultivation of one's body to preserve life. No one knew the name of Heshong Gong(河上公). 河上公 is only an description of him by saying that "a gentleman is living by the river".

The invisible Tao was existed before the vacancy of space. Heaven and Earth are the manifestation of Tao. In emptiness, there is no good nor evil.

I need to know the contents of the above journal and what had been said, in order, to comment.

It couldn't be, the character 徹(Che4) was already existed in both versions MWD-A and MWD-B. Btw The purpose of the time table is to keep the sequence of events. It had been proven that the MWD-B version was written in the Han Dynasty excluding the name of the first emperor(邦) but not the names of next thee emperors 盈, 恆, and 徹 after him(邦). Please read Post #26. Edited to add: The MWD-A version was written in the Seal style with the character 徹(Che4) included. Therefore, it couldn't have been written after his reign. Besides, any other version after the Han Dynasty would have had been written in the Official style.

Anyway, Heshang Gong(河上公), I think we can squeeze him into the BCE during the Han Dynasty. Time Table 4. 文帝– 劉恒 Liu2 heng2 180 – 157 BCE 5. 武帝- 劉徹 Liu2 Che4 156 - 087 BCE In the Time Table, we have a new comer: 武帝- 劉徹(Liu2 Che4). Let's look at Chapter 79 of Heshang Gong's version: 79 1. 和大怨， 2. 必有餘怨， 3. 安可以為善？ 4. 是以聖人執左契而不責於人。 5. 有德司契， 6. 無德司徹。 7. 天道無親，常與善人。 The sixth line contains the character 徹(Che4) which is an indication that Heshang Gong's version was already existed before 徹(Che4) becomes emperor. There are some documentaries had shown that Heshang Gong had given two sections of the TTC to 劉恒 (Liu2 heng2). 劉恒 (Liu2 heng2) was the emperor prior to 劉徹(Liu2 Che4). Hence, that would make Heshang Gong appear to be in the Han period.

He is a legendary figure and even more mysterious than Lao Zi. The period given above is later than some other sources. He could be moved back a bit into the BCE.

Now, since there was no date attached to Heshang Gong(河上公) and his version of TTC, then we have another mystery to be solved...!!!

Actually, 圍魏救趙 was something learned from the situation and added to the Art of War as a military strategy. During the period of the Warring States, it was a matter of survival, by using military strategy, rather than a balance of power.

If you free a little pain or pressure around the temples(太陽穴), that is normally the reflexive point of your headache. To get rid of your headache, apply acupressure slightly with your fingers to the temples(太陽穴). It will put you into sleep also. You might be interested in this. Ref: Reflexology PS..... The reflexology is not necessary only massaging the foot but other parts of the body as well.

If anybody tells you do not breathe when practicing Chi Kung, then stay away from those individuals; and go to the one that tells you to do abdominal breathing(AB. However, abdominal breathing is not so easy to get there without some practice for sometime. I would start with this fundamental thing first. FYI Regardless what others tell you, they may tell you to do lots of other things. However, you might be wasting lots of effort without doing AB.

Yeah, the story about 圍魏救趙, attack Wei to save Zhao, which is one of the military strategies from the Art Of War.

There was only one place, in Chapter 2, with his name 盈 replaced with 傾. Actually, it was very difficulty to find a character replace for 盈 as compared to 邦/國 and 恆/常. Besides, 劉盈 took over the throne at the age of 17 with no power. His mother, the queen, took over his power. He die at the age of 25 due to his innate health problem. It seems like nobody did pay much attention to him. Anyway, this is still doesn't invalidate the intent of the thread neither.

No problem. We had a good discussion for Chapter 79. Please read posts #4 through #7 in the following thread. Ref: http://thetaobums.com/topic/20907-ttc-study-chapter-79-of-the-tao-teh-ching/ MWD-B is correct. It doesn't invalidate this thread at all whatsoever. PS.... Can you respond to post #32 of this thread. Thanks.

I don't follow you on this at all on the part of "tally". What make you think that "the common practice in the Warring States period, which valued the right side over the left." In reference to Chapter 31 of the TTC, it is valued the left over the right.

Dawei.... Can you give me the Chinese characters for "name of Liu Hui, Emperor Huidi... thus, this can be even dated into time of Emperor Huidi or Empress Lu ! " Thanks.

Dawei.... Thank you for tracking the time period. Now, the Time table have been updated. It was a good study. Yes, carry on! We'll get it right yet...!!!
